Coaching Advice
Target time: Complete 3 rounds
How to pace: Maintain a steady, conversational pace throughout the workout.
How to be competitive: If you're feeling good, try to slightly increase your speed during the jog segments to make the rounds quicker without sacrificing form.
What you should feel: You should feel a light burn in your legs during squats and a good activation in your core during the plank. Overall, aim for sustainable effort that leaves you refreshed rather than exhausted.
